Reseña del editor:

More trivia about Ireland than you ever needed to know!

Distract yourself from doom-and-gloom with useless information: guaranteed to make you a hit at parties or gatherings of more than one person!

This book contains jewels like the following:

• During the first half of the nineteenth century, the average number of CHILDREN per household in Ireland was 10.
• An ancient Irish marriage ritual called ‘handfasting’, involved tying a rope between the newlyweds’ wrists for 366 days. It is said that this is where the expression ‘TYING THE KNOT’ originated.
